Most likely Baeckea linifolia, to the top of the chops is under 8" with a trunk of just over 3". It started life as a self sown seedling & was planted in the ground 4 yrs ago. I had 2 failed attempts to dig them again but finally got it right last yearviewtopic.php?f=6&t=9581. It was cut back hard about 2yrs ago & again earlier this year. Its been out of the ground about 2wks & is not showing any signs of going backwards. If the last one is anything to go by I expect big things from this tree...

Lots of options there Matt.
Nice stock

Ken

Thanks Ken, lots of options but I already have a rough idea in my head, recovery first, then cut all the branches off & start again

Chunky is doing well so today I removed the excess trunks, the ones left will be shortened once back budding starts in earnest.

Hi Stranger :p

Chunky looks good and has a tonne of potential. Look forward to seeing it in person along with all your others mate.

Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT hope you have had an awesome day.

Cheers

David

Edited for grammar.

Bugger happy birthday for yesterday Matt

Mr Willoughby... hows things you old bugger? Stop hiding in the shadows, old timers is kicking in & I dont see very well

Cheers Jas, it was a good day, instead of getting I did a bit of giving

The first branch on the right is actually a whole seperate tree thanks to adventitious roots while it was ground growing, on discovery it made easy to know where to shorten the remaining branches. All in all I am happy with its progress.

cool so will u be keeping it as one tree or making 2 trees

It will be removed at next repot to give a second tree.

Nice stock Matt
Lots of new growth too.
Cheers, Dario.

Um excuse me Matt, but where the hell have you been hiding this tree? It is not acceptable that I have not seen this one on your bench yet

Cheers Dario

Gareth, Its been on the bench with the juni's since the end of september, guess you were too busy looking at privet last time

Hey matt, how's things up your neck of the woods? Just thought I'd give you a sneak peak at the front of chunky....

A heap to do still but well on its way.
